 Dreams sometimes do come true.

My brother found this on Bobby London's Instagram page.  If you don't know Bobby London, he is one of the great anthro cartoonists and made my teen years a little more bearable.  


Mr. London was one of the Air Pirates.


 
Bobby also took over Thimble Theater in 1986, but there were differences 'twixt him and the owners-
 
In June 1992, London began a continuity in which Olive Oyl receives a Baby Bluto doll, and decides to get rid of it.  Passerbys think that she intends to get an abortion.

Worried over even the implication of the a-word, the syndicate fired London and refused to run the continuity.  They've been running repeats of Sagendorf strips ever since.




Bobby and my brother argue frequently.

      He must really threaten the nonentities that dominate the teaching 'profession' these days. I wonder if Huckleberry Finn is still allowed in classrooms? Public schools are a disgrace and are merely holding cells for future convicts and societal drones.

      Many of the books Mark Twain wrote for youthful readers are now excluded. Apparently they're racist.

      When the Judge tries to reform Huck's father, I think that is one of the funniest things ever written. All these pc types need to lighten up, pronto.

      Really now! I would have thought you a model student. My own behavior makes my rabbit Billy look like Father Lankester Merrin. And as for the older young me, once I found out that if I obeyed orders exactly as they were given to me I could get away with murder in the Corps.
      Uh...we were talking about you as I recall. How did you freak your teachers out, were you a furry artist then? I would think that back in the day considering what we saw on Saturday morning tv that would have been fine and dandy!

      Those guys tried to draw the world's attention to Disney getting special copyright status. But damn if I would take on The Mouse, they lost in court and were ordered to pay 100,000 dollars, which Disney never tried to collect. https://boom-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/disney-BW-cadre-d%E2%80%9Atail-02.jpg This is by Wally Wood, and Disney wisely ignored it. The Air Pirates were a threat, the orgy poster was best left alone.

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

The Cockroach Union and Waterbugs Protective Association

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   ...

Two Different Dragons

  I'm not sure if these dragons are considered "anthro" or "furry"(although they both have a little fur)-but they are both intelligent creatures!  Haku from Spirited Away- He is an eastern dragon with a wolf-like head and white fur/scales and green mane. He can transform into a human boy when he chooses-plus he is also a river spirit/guardian. He never speaks in his dragon form but he is a very intelligent creature. If you have not seen this classic Studio Ghibli movie, please do so! Falkor the luck dragon is from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story. In the original book illustrations, he had the look of a Eastern dragon with a lion's head. In the movie,he had the long body of an Eastern dragon but with a dog-like face. Either way,he is a positive creature who encourages the hero Atreyeu throughout the film. " Believe and good luck will find you"
